C# was designed from the ground up for development on Microsoft''s .NET framework. As such, it''s a high-performance language that''s simple, safe, object-oriented, and Internet-centric. Programming C#, 2nd Edition teaches this new language in a way that experienced programmers will appreciate--by grounding its applications firmly in the context of Microsoft''s .NET platform and the development of desktop and Internet applications.
The first part of this book introduces C# fundamentals, then goes on to explain:
- Classes and objects
- Inheritance and polymorphism
- Operator overloading
- Structs and interfaces
- Arrays, indexers, and collections
- String objects and regular expressions
- Exceptions and bug handling
- Delegates and events
Part two of Programming C#, 2nd Edition focuses on development of desktop and Internet applications, including Windows Forms, ADO.NET and ASP.NET. ASP.NET includes Web Forms, for rapid development of web applications, and Web Services for creating objects without user interfaces, to provide services over the Internet.
Part three gets to the heart of the .NET Framework, focusing on attributes and reflection, remoting, threads and cynchronization, and streams. Part three also illustrates how to interoperate with COM objects.
In much the way that you can see the features and personality of the parents and grandparents in young children, you can easily see the influence of Java, C++, Visual Basic, and other languages in C#. The level of information in Programming C#, 2nd Edition allows you to become productive quickly with C# and to rely on it as a powerful addition to your family of mastered programming languages.
